    Is it possible? CPU-Z lists it as a Socket 479 mPGA package with a Conroe-L based Intel Celeron M 540. I would like dual core, but I care more about speedstep (since I know first hand how much it helps battery life). I tried to search eBay, but lots of people on there list a processor as a certain socket when it is not.

    Ok, CPU-Z also lists it as a GM965 chipset motherboard while Toshiba says its a GL960 motherboard. Is there a way to find out what is right without ripping it apart?

    It is listed as a Santa Rosa motherboard, so I would love it if I could run a 667 FSB processor (less than $70 on eBay right now).
